A strange world

Chapter 1190 Section 112. The complex emotions of the druids

Serana has never seen so many humans gathered together to put out fires...

The men carried buckets, the women carried flower baskets, and even the children carried bowls with spilled water.

"Actually, most of them can't help, but... having this heart is enough."

Serana was speechless for a long time, while Annan was still rushing to put out the fire. Looking at the elf mentor: "Irilan'er, I will take Da De and Miss Serana there first..."

Yi Ruilanze's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Serana asked Annan to go first, but he rejected her request: "No, you might be misunderstood by your companions."

"Okay..." Serana was about to obey when Irelanze said, "It's useless for you to go. Da De and I will go over and put out the fire first."

Annan could not refute, and could only watch as Irilanze, Serana, and Da De crowded on the dragon's back and walked away.

That was his place...

At this time, Olmedo, who set out with the mage group, rushed over.

"Why were you left behind?"

"It's important to put out the fire. I won't be of use in the past." Annan looked mature.

He asked the arriving Liberty City soldiers to divide into two groups: Olmedo led the residents to cut a fire break on the top of the mountain to prevent the fire from spreading, while the mages followed him to the west side of the mountain to put out the fire.

…

The blazing flames licked every druid's face, almost swallowing their hope.

The elf druid's extreme words gradually entangled this group of druids who were affected by negative emotions. When they almost fell into the abyss with him, a small and insignificant rain cloud suddenly gathered above the sea of ​​​​fire.

The druids turned around with awareness and saw a white dragon carrying Serana and Da De, and an elf coming from a distance, emitting waves of magic.

The rain that fell from the rain clouds was just a drop in the bucket. Before it even hit the ground, it was evaporated by the burning forest and disappeared into the billowing smoke.

"Is this the reinforcement you found?" Olga asked sarcastically.

Serana was about to speak when the rain cloud that was about to dissipate was suddenly injected with more magic power, stretching and spreading in the air.

Serana, who had realized something, turned back and saw reinforcements emerging from the horizon like wasps.

The druids also gradually noticed the approaching black shadows.

"Human..." A cold whisper escaped from Ogar's throat.

They saw the human lord getting closer and closer, and ordered: "Get ready to put out the fire!"

As the arriving mages dispersed, they cast spells, summoned water elements, rain, and even used mud spells to hit the burning forest.

Annan had no time to say hello to the druids. He rode on the back of the white dragon, climbed to the heights of the forest, and opened five portals with flashing light flowers. Then, streams of water flowed out from the doors——

"They are the reinforcements I found." Serana replied to Ogar at this time.

They arrived quickly enough, but the scope of the flames still spanned more than ten miles. If Liberty City hadn't brought enough mages with them, they might not have been able to put out the fire.

Under the continuous casting of spells by Annan and hundreds of mages, the raging flames gradually extinguished, returning to a land that was scorched black, flickering with sparks, and rising into green smoke.

With little magic power left, Annan landed and opened the portal for the last time, this time summoning the soldiers from behind.

Armed with axes, shovels, and baskets, they charged toward the scorched earth as if charging the enemy.

When one of the soldiers ran past the druids holding a bucket, Ogar suddenly pulled up his bow and arrow and aimed at the soldier tremblingly.

"what are you up to……!"

"Put out the fire." The guard turned a blind eye to the arrow aimed at him, thinking that the elf was just stressed.

"You set a fire and then extinguished it?" Ogar sneered.

"You don't seem very smart... It was another group of people who set the fire. It has nothing to do with us."

"You are all human!"

"You elves have still betrayed your covenant with Lord Annan. Didn't Lord Annan help you regardless of past grudges?" The guard muttered "Idiot" and went to put out the fire with a bucket in the indifference of the druids.

Ogar gradually put down his bow and arrow.

Human mages patrol the sky, dousing the rekindled woodland. The soldiers who broke into the hot and scorched earth also used water and soil to cover the still smoking areas. The fire is gradually being brought under control and should be extinguished soon.

But the black scars are still ugly at the foot of the mountain.

Olmedo led people to the Franco territory to question, and the soldiers who made the save began to cheer, and the smiles on their faces made the druids' emotions even more complicated.

They seemed to have seen a group of... completely different humans.

"Why are there two people missing?"

Annan followed Serana to the druids.

They said that two companions were captured by the knights of Franco's territory. Annan nodded after hearing the words and walked through the scorched woods to Franco's territory on the other side.

There were some charred silhouettes on the edge of the forest. Annan initially thought they were burned people, but the silhouettes were larger.

When Annan left, Olmedo was negotiating with the leader of the Blackstone Knights and the mayor of Greenleaf Town.

"How dare you set the mountain on fire!"

"Deputy Lord Olmedo, what we are burning is the forest on Franco's territory."

"But you are unable to extinguish the flames. Sooner or later, they will spread to the east side of the mountains." Olmedo was indifferent to the mayor's excuse.

After Annan told Olmedo the situation, she asked the Knights to hand over the two druids.

The leader of the Knights, Noal, refused to hand over the druids on the grounds that they had killed and injured dozens of knights.

"Then I can only negotiate with your lord." Annan took the initiative to speak.

Facing the neighboring lord, Noal first performed the knight's salute, and then said that he would not hand over the druids unless the lord spoke.

One of the two druids was dead and the other was seriously injured, but the Knights had lost so many people and burned a forest, so someone had to bear the price.

Noal's toughness puzzled Annan: "Do you hate druids?"

"You don't know?"

"Know what?"

Noal suddenly remembered that the champion warlock in front of him had just arrived not long ago, and only uttered one word: blood feud.

It seems that this conflict is also mixed with some deeper hatred.

"I won't magnanimously say let go of hatred for you, I just hope you don't affect innocent people."

Annan asked again: "But give us the bear druid first. It's dying, and it will be too late if we don't do anything. You can tell your lord that I took it away by force."

Noal hesitated for a moment, then softened his attitude and handed over the unconscious bear druid.

But it was not because Annan was the lord of Free City, but because he knew that Annan was a Holy Grail Knight squire.

All knights are proud to be Holy Grail Knights, and Noal is no exception.

Olmedo stayed here to negotiate for the time being, and Annan tore open the magic scroll to help the bear druid stop bleeding, and then opened the portal to send him back to Free City for treatment.
